Moebius 1965 Chevy II

[12bridge]

All done.  100% out of the box.  First car kit I have actually finished in a very, very long time.  

This kit literally falls together like no other model I have ever built.  Very well engineered.  Glass fit could be a smidge better.  

I think proportionally the engine is a bit wonky, the blower and injector seem way oversized, but I did not want to get into a huge project.  The way the hood cutout is weird also, I picked up a parts kit, so I may redo the hood, It just does not flow right.  

I would not call this kit so much as a period correct gasser, its got more of a modern day, retro feel to.

Looks good. Mine should be done tomorrow. I posted pics in the WIP Drag Racing section.

Very nice, and I think you win for First Built of these. 

When I read your words that the engine looked wonky, I looked at your pics and immediately thought the blower was oversized. Turns out that's what you were talking about. I think you're right. 

I think you're also right about this being more of a modern "gasser tribute" than a true period-correct "gasser," but I think it can be retro-ed without too much trouble. 

Well done and model on! Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Great looking over all, the color is especially nice. What paint did you use, may I ask?

P - congrats on finishing yours.  Looks cool; excellent paint color, and I agree with you on the theme being more current interpretation of a Gasser rather than a period-correct version.  

I am perplexed on the hood/blower issue.  I also remember reading about this somewhere when the test shots were being worked on, yet on my build the hood/blower alignment turned out perfect.  Next version I build I will investigate this further. 

Thanks for the images and commentary!   TIM

Nice looking 65 drag car.  That color looks pretty nice.  Picked mine up the other day but not sure when I'll get started on it.

Thanks guys. 

The color is Tamiya TS58 Pearl Light Blue rattle can.  

Tim, After finishing mine last night I went and looked at your sample build thinking it looked way better (it does).  I am not sure how this would change, as the kit fits together so well, its not like its an alignment issue or anything.

Looks great !  I hope mine turns out as nice. Still a week or two to go on mine.

You guys are killing me. That kit just came out. How do finish a build that quickly? It takes me months to finish one.  

Very nice work though. Looks great.

Boy this is such a good looking Gasser.  I may have to move mine up a little closer.  Great looking build
